My Kings didn't look so Stanley Cuppish today but it was a blast as a life long Kings fan to see that Stanley Cup banner go up next to all those Lakers world championship banners. Did you get Lagunitas Sucks yet ?

Whatta day, brewing up a batch of what will be a vanilla, chocolate, bourbon porter and had a bad boil over (indicated by all the schmutz on the sides of the kettle:

Then decided to wash the spilled wort with some water that was left soaking in one of my glass carboys...(you see where this is goin')...dropped the carboy and it shattered all over the floor under my kettle. Put a leather glove on to pick up the big pieces and vacuum the rest and still cut my finger; to be safe, 'will have to strain it on the way into the fermenter. The wort's now chillin' and I'm sipping my first beer of the day to calm my nerves!

Shhhiiii......tteeee... We dumped our grains into the mash tun and then I went, "awww man..." as I picked up the false bottom from the table nearby. Lost some grains and water while dumping back and forth from mash tun to another pot when trying to replace the false bottom and still came within 3 points of attempted O.G. ... 70 something batches brewed and that's never happened(the false bottom part) and never will again.

My first Ale Smith Speedway Stout. To bad its $12.99 a bottle or I would be drinking this a lot more. The 12% ABV is undetectable, well at least it is for now, maybe no so much once I finish this bottle. LOL

No photos, but went to the tasting hours at Hops & Grain Brewery in Austin today, and had their Alt, Horchata Stout, Funk del Robel, and Porter del Roble. All were excellent, and it was a beautiful day to be outside drinking beer (about 70 and sunny).

I just bought this glass today and figured I had to follow suit. Haven't had this in a while, DFH more or less got me into craft and now I'm trying new things (palo santo is my #1). Holy hell this is refreshing and well balanced, more than I ever remembered
